NEW PALTZ – More than 1,100 first-year students and about 600 transfer students will join the SUNY New Paltz community this fall, as the college prepares to welcome a diverse and academically strong incoming class for the 2022-23 school year.
An additional 800 graduate students will be on campus this fall, with total enrollment at New Paltz exceeding 7,200.
“The incoming class of 2022 is one of the most academically prepared groups we’ve seen,” said Jeff Gant, vice president for enrollment management. “These are students who have already enjoyed meaningful successes as scholars, artists, entrepreneurs, athletes and volunteers, and we’re so excited for all that they’ll accomplish during their time at New Paltz.”
New first-year students and their families will begin arriving and settling into their new on-campus homes on Move-In Day, August 25. The Welcome Week festivities will continue on August 26 with the annual Convocation tradition, as current students, faculty, staff and alumni celebrate the newest members of the Orange & Blue community.
SUNY New Paltz President Darrell Wheeler will participate in these activities for the first time since he took office in July.
Returning students will continue to arrive through the weekend before classes begin on August 29.
